We spent the day birdwatching and visiting Ingapirca. Our guide Edison was fantastic. We learned so much! The information he shared was so valuable and was presented in a manner that brought history to life! We sampled some local foods and beverages; he also treated us to a delicious lunch which we ate outdoors. Highly recommended!

My wife and I booked a private tour with Polylepis Tours, and Diego our English speaking guide was excellent. He provided a great deal of information so we could fully understand the history of the site, the vegetation and their uses, the wild life, and also the past and present cultures of Cuenca and broader Ecuador. We enjoyed Diego's company and the trip very much.

Ingapirca is a must-see for anyone visiting Cuenca, especially when the tour is led by a competent, kind and attentive professional, like Diego from Polylepis. The archaeological site, which is well preserved, is surrounded by beautiful landscapes. A great tour!
